Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a simple recipe for making fragrant apple mint tea right at home. When you steep these freshly washed apple mint leaves in warm water, the resulting infusion is wonderfully aromatic with a subtle, pleasant nutty flavor. All you need is clean apple mint and a frying pan, so if you love the taste of mint, give this a try! Let’s get started on how to make this delightful apple mint tea.
Ingredients- Fresh apple mint leaves, a generous amount (washed thoroughly before use)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently wash your fresh apple mint leaves under running water. Carefully pluck the leaves from their stems and pat them dry. Then, place all the leaves into a frying pan.
Step 2
Now, place the frying pan over low heat. Gently stir the apple mint leaves, making sure they don’t burn, as you toast them. Continuous stirring is key to prevent scorching.
Step 3
As you continue to toast the leaves on low heat, you’ll notice the moisture evaporating and the leaves becoming dry. Once they feel sufficiently dry, turn off the heat and let the toasted leaves cool down in the pan. Be careful not to touch them while they’re still hot.
Step 4
Once completely cooled, the apple mint leaves will be dry and brittle. Transfer these dried leaves into an airtight container for storage. Stored this way, you can enjoy the delightful aroma of apple mint for a long time.
Step 5
Now it’s time to brew your tea! Place a tea strainer in your teapot or mug. Add a desired amount of the dried apple mint leaves to the strainer. Carefully pour hot water over the leaves and let it steep for about 3-5 minutes. You can adjust the steeping time according to your preference.
Step 6
Voila! Your homemade apple mint tea is ready, boasting a delicate minty fragrance and a wonderfully refreshing flavor. Enjoy it hot, or brew it with cold water for a delicious iced tea variation!
